On September 22, Lennar rose 5.74% in regular trading, trading at $82.655/share, with turnover of approximately $64.08 million. The surge came after regulatory filings revealed that Berkshire Hathaway had aggressively accumulated Lennar shares during the prior trading week.

According to an SEC Form 4 filing disclosed on September 22, Berkshire Hathaway purchased approximately 2.74 million Class A shares and 75,021 Class B shares of Lennar between September 17 and 21, executing 16 transactions at prices ranging from $74.80 to $79.41 per share, with a weighted average price of roughly $77.42 and a total investment of approximately $212 million. This follows an earlier disclosure in August showing Berkshire had already raised its Lennar stake by 29.8% to 13.1 million Class A shares, signaling sustained conviction in the homebuilder.

Notably, the buying window overlapped with Lennar's Q3 earnings release on September 16, which missed revenue expectations at $8.0 billion versus the $8.31 billion consensus estimate. Despite the earnings shortfall and a prevailing underweight consensus rating among analysts, Berkshire's continued accumulation at depressed levels lifted market sentiment and drove the broader homebuilding sector higher, with peers D.R. Horton up 2.94%, PulteGroup up 3.05%, and Toll Brothers up 2.83%.
